The End of Konami

[Skyblade]

Konami did not allow Kojima to attend the Game Awards and pick up his award for best action game. If that's not shooting yourself in the foot I don't know what is.

Why did they do that?

Probably because MGS5 is owned by Konami, and Kojima was no longer employed at Konami at the time the award was given out.

Incorrect, actually. Kojima was still employed by Konami at the time. That was, in fact, the only way they could prevent him from going.

When did his employment end, then?

According to the reports, literally yesterday.

Which makes this all the more interesting:


He's got an independent studio, and he's partnered with Sony for now.
